The Toronto Raptors took a 1-0 lead in the best of seven NBA Finals series by beating reigning champions Golden State Warriors (118-109).
Pascal Siakam scored 32 points, while Kawhi Leonard had 23 points on 5-for-14 shooting against a swarming, smothering Warriors defence.
Marc Gasol, who was acquired at February’s trade deadline to help the Raptors’ playoff push, had 20 points and seven rebounds.
Game 2 is Sunday before the NBA Finals shift to Oakland, Calif., for Games 3 and 4.
